Hilda was the wife of Elwood D. Ireland Sr. and our loving mother: Charlotte, Sharon, Elwood jr., Patricia, John, Frederick, Julia, Leon and Jacquline. She died suddenly of an anurism in her leg. And she is sorely missed every day. Dad joined Mom on November 29,2002. Heaven is a much better place now that they are together again. Both of the guiding lights have been moved from our lives to heaven. But we know one day we can see them again. It is now time for you both to rest together, after such a long time apart. We miss you both.
